The Erie Federal Credit Union (FCU) is alerting patrons to a rise in spam calls and spam text messages. 

The messages are designed to look like they are coming from Erie FCU. 

According to a Facebook post, bad actors are messaging members "Did you authorize the following activity...?" The text message is not from the Erie FCU and is a scam. 

The Erie FCU says it will never ask members to provide any personal information via a text or email. 

The bank is advising members to never click on any suspicious links from texts/emails that you do not recognize. 

Members with questions can contact 814-825-2436.
